The Acrobat - Kestrel

He had a love before

And in a lonely world he wanders

Why he was so alone without her

But he will be alright

Because he knows he’s gonna stay here

High on a mountain up in the atmosphere

Where there’s only a star to keep me warm

But will it shelter me from the storm

And keep the lose from harm

I don’t know

But if I’d only known

Yes if I’d only known my life would be

Such a misery

And if I’d only known the way to go

I would give my all

I would give it all, give it to you

Hiding in the allys and doorways

All the neon signs spill light

In the subway’s deep inside

What would you do

Don’t let me see you

Cause I would only have to free you

Thousands of galaxies pull me towards them

And call to me sadly

I am the acrobat of life

Call to me sadly

I am the acrobat of life

Why do you wanna get away

Why do you wanna get better

Why do you wanna get away

Why do you wanna get better

I want you to see along the way the trees and skies

The sunshine of life in your eyes

The rain begins to fall

Just to end it all

Tomorrow the colours merge together slowly

But as I’ve seen that acrobat before

I couldn’t say much

Play with emotion and other lies and such

Cause I’ve no one at all to make a break

It’s only where the secrets are made

And good book farmers get paid

You don’t know

That as he crumbles up

Just like a paper cup, the acrobat

He can thank you for that

And as I realize the rainy skies

Have come down for me

I am laughing free.

Laughing at you
